Asante by Brandon Dittgen

Asante is Swahili for “thank you.” Written for the developing percussion ensemble, Asante will introduce young percussionists to syncopated melodic rhythms. Flexible mallet voicing allows for a variety of melodic timbres, accompanied by a traditional African rhythm section. 

The IGNITE Series for the Developing Percussion Ensemble

This unique series was designed specifically for young percussionists as they experience the magic of playing in a percussion ensemble. Each piece provides the director and students with great flexibility – from the number of players to the tempo to the instrumentation.
